The head of the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, Leyla Abdullayeva, commented on the speech of the French Foreign Minister in the National Assembly of this country.

Axar.az reports citing the Foreign Ministry.

"We regret to note that French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Yves Le Drian made a statement in the National Assembly in an inappropriate form for a diplomat on January 18 this year. Thus, a member of the National Assembly from the Republican Party, Eric Siotti, who tried to insult the President of Azerbaijan for provocative purposes, should have been given a harsh answer. Minister Le Drian stated that the views expressed by the President of Azerbaijan on the illegal visit of Valerie Pecresse to the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan are "unacceptable in form and content".

The statement of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev on the illegal visit of Valerie Pecresse to Azerbaijan is completely logical and correct,” the statement says.
